SAFETY-RAZOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 26, 1919.

Application filed January 22, 1918. fSerial No. 213,148.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY BLUM, a citizen of Russia, residing at J ohnstown, in the county of Cambria and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safet Razors, of which This invention re ates to new and useful improvements in safety razors, and the primary object of this invention is to provide a simple and efiicient device of this character which is so constructed, that the ordinarily inaccessible places on the users face may be easily reached, and said razor is easily detached, so that same may be kept clean and sanitary.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character, which is easily and simply constructed, inexpensive to manufacture, and one which will be very eflicient in operation.

With these and numerous other 0b]e0tS in view, my invention consists of the novellfeaan arrangement of parts which will be herein referred to and more particularlypointed out in the specification and claim.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is aplan VlBW of the razor, the parts in connected position, showing the portion of the handle connection in section,

Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the guard and blades,

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section, and

Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the between the guard and handle.

In describing my invention, I shall refer to the drawings, in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughoutthe several views.

The numeral 1 designates a guard plate for this type of safety razor, said uard plate being provided with a longitudmally therein, said slot having shoulder portions as will be hereinafter more fully described. The op osite sides of the guard plate 1, are inclined as clearly shown at 4, so that a blade 5 correspondingly s be positioned thereon. This blade owin to the peculiar shape of the same and p ate greatly increases the eflicienc of a razor so constructed, as it is to permlt places otherwise inaccessible on the users face to be easily reached.

. the guard plate,

3 that form guide means,

haped to said plate may The blade 5 is provided with a longitudinally extending slot 6 therein corresponding to the slot 2 in the guard plate, and when the blade is positioned on the plate, the two slots aline.

The inner end of the plate 1 is provided with an enlarged portion 7, which extends rearwardly and has the extremity thereof externally threaded as shown at 8, said enlarged portion and projection 8 being grooved as at 9 to receive one end of a holder 10 employed in this device. The holder 10 comprises a flat bar having on one end an enlarged portion 11 with an inclined outer face l2 which is adapted to be positioned within the groove 9, and when so arranged to be securely held in said position by operatively connecting therewith an internally threaded end portion 13 of a handle 14 for the razor. The handle 14 is preferably'constructed of metal, and is secured on the art 13, which is also formed of metal. en the various parts of the connection are assembled as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings, the holder will be'securely alongthe blade 1 over the inner end of the alining slot in said plate and blade. The end (portion of the holder which is designate by the-numeral 15 is formed with projecting flanges 16 and 17 on its op osite sides at the upper and lower edges t ereof, the flanges 16 being adapted to be positioned upon the shoulder portions 3 of the slot 2 within while the flanges 17 engage the opposite edges of the slot 2 of the blade 5. This connection is clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

In operation, when the various parts of the razor are assembled as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the device is in operative position. After use, when it is desired to remove the blade to clean the de vice, the portion 13 is unscrewed from the connection with the blade 1, and this permits the holder 10 to be moved longitudinally. Its inner end that is positioned in the alining slots, outer end, whereupon the blade 5 may be easily removed from the plate 1. This-disassembling operation is very simple, and the opposite assembling of the parts of the device will be likewise.

Owing to the peculiar construction of the will move along the same to the blade and guard, this type of razor will be most advantageous,- and owing to. the ex-v trem'e simplicity of assembling and disassembling of the parts, and their flat construction, the devlce may be kept absolutely sanitary with very little trouble.

From the above description taken in connection with. the accompanying drawings, it is thought that a clear and comprehensive understanding of 'the construction, operation, and advantages of my invention may be had, and While I have shown and de-- scribed the device as embodying a specific structure, I desire that it be understood that such changes may be made in said structure as do not depart from the spirit and scope of the inventlon as claimed.

Having fully described my invention,

' what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In a safety razor the combination with a v blade formed with a longitudinally extendto clamp the blade to the plate, and a handle engageable with the externally threaded end of the holder plate and adapted to clamp the holder in locked position to securely hold the bladeto the plate.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature hereto. H RY BLUM.
